Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) demands more than empathic validation, requiring instead a structured formulation of the interplay among situations, automatic thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Therapists formalize this interplay through a Cognitive Conceptualization Diagram, where maintaining longitudinal…
Generalisability is a central question for deep neural networks, including the cross-language generalisation of speaker embeddings. This study examined whether deep neural speaker embeddings generalise across languages and how such generalisation relates to human perception and acoustic structure. Using…
Automated detection of machine-generated text is applied where the verdict carries a cost for the author, yet origin is a property of the production process, not an observable property of the text. The conditions under which a text is produced push it in the same direction in which a generative model is presumed to…
Small Language Models (SLMs) are increasingly deployed on consumer-grade hardware, yet their ability to preserve information across progressively longer contexts remains insufficiently understood. Existing benchmarks primarily evaluate retrieval-oriented tasks, providing limited insight into whether successful…
Generative AI is currently fragmented, with separate subscriptions required for text generation, image synthesis, and code assistance, leading to high costs and workflow disruptions. AI Express is a SaaS platform that consolidates these capabilities into a unified pay-as-you-go service. The platform provides a range…
For humans, referential disambiguation is a collaborative process involving clarification questions asked when they will meaningfully change the outcome. However, large language models (LLMs) have been shown to be biased toward premature answering, preferring definite single-turn responses over more clarification…
LLMs can repair noisy OCR transcripts of historical documents, but they also change text that was already correct. We propose EditVeto, a veto gate placed after a full-context LLM rewrite. The rewrite is character-aligned to the OCR input, its differences are split into blocks, and a 0.6B-parameter gate keeps or…
Different retrievers exist for retrieval-augmented generation, yet none performs best for all queries. Therefore, the key question is: given a query and retrieved passages from different retrievers, which one is most suited for that query? Existing routers usually make predictions from query-specific features and a…
Speech transcription errors can be difficult to recognize when competing word hypotheses are unfamiliar or visually similar. We describe an interface that combines alternative transcripts, replay and contextually checked pictograms for selected uncertain concepts. The system will initially support French and Spanish…
Search can help LLM agents correct mistakes, but their starting conditions may shape which evidence they find and use. Drawing on cognitive-bias paradigms, we develop a controlled search harness to examine result order, records of prior work, and initial hypotheses while holding each question and document collection…
